In electrical heating applications, resistive heaters are powered through phase angle-controlled SCR/triac circuits to vary the applied voltage/power to maintain the required temperature. Phase angle ...

This design describes a simple, cost-effective solution for an ac power controller using PC-compatible conduction-angle control. A solid-state relay (SSR) is activated through a pulse-width-modulated ...

The course consists of three weeks of materials and is focused on modeling and control of grid-tied power electronics. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to understand, analyze, model, ...

Converter ICs include an integrated power MOSFET, whereas controller ICs employ external power MOSFETs. Both configurations are classified as regulators because they regulate the output voltage. A low ...

“Two halves make a whole” is a very old and often true maxim. For example, it’s almost always true when said about AC phase angle power control. You rarely want significant alternating half-cycle ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...
